Bold Prediction: "With Carson Palmer back Chad Ochocinco will Return to Form and hit 1500 yards (he will, however, still be ridiculous)." Result : Ochocinco certainly bounced back from a poor 2008 campaign, more than doubling his TD total and nearly doubling his yards. Ochocinco fell short of 1500 yards, but his ridiculousness did return in fine fashion (the sombrero). Grade: B+

Breakout Team: Houston TexansBreakout Team Record: 9-7, 2nd AFC SouthAnalysis: I like this pick. Houston has always been a sexy pick, but is so inconsistent it pains most sports writers. They pieced it together this year, and finished with a strong record. Had it not been for Indianapolis and Cincinnati collectively laying down to the J-E-T-S, Houston would be in the playoffs.Grade: B+

Bold Prediction: "RB Ahmad Bradshaw will lead the NY Giants in yards from scrimmage."Result : Bradshaw finished the year with 985 yards from scrimmage, slightly behind Brandon Jacobs' total of 1,019. Grade: D

Dray Miller

Breakout Player: DE Jarron Gilbert (Chicago) Breakout Player Stats: 4 Games Played, 1 Total TackleAnalysis: He could jump out of a pool, but couldn't jump out of behind Tommie Harris on the depth chart. I don't blame Dray for taking him though, gotta rep San Jose State!Grade: D+ (the plus is for the Spartans)

Breakout Team: San Francisco 49ersBreakout Team Record: 8-8, 2nd NFC WestAnalysis: San Francisco seemed well on their way after starting the season 3-1, but tanking four straight after that didn't help. Another homer pick for Dray, and another pick that didn't work out.Grade: C-

Bold Prediction: "Josh McDaniels will be fired after just one season, in which he manages to completely ruin the Denver Broncos organization."Result : Six weeks into the season this pick looked awful. Ten weeks later it looked not-so-bad. McDaniels and the Broncos completed the epic fail of going from 6-0 to 8-8... Sad day. That being said, he isn't getting fired, and the team is far from ruined.Grade: C-

Bold Prediction: "Knowshon Moreno will rush for 1500 yards and 12 touchdowns."Result : Whew! Go big or go home... Rob did both... This was bold! Moreno did tally 947 yards and 7 TD, but didn't quite make the 1500/12 plateau. Maybe if he had got the ball more... (single-digit carries in three separate weeks).Grade: C-

Bold Prediction: "Steven Jackson will lead the NFL in total yards from scrimmage AND Billy Bajema will finish the season with more receptions than Randy McMichael."Result : Jackson finished 5th behind Chris Johnson, Adrian Peterson, Maurice Jones-Drew, and Ray Rice. Bajema (as previously mentioned), finished slightly behind David Boston...Grade: D-

Scotty Kimberly

Breakout Player: RB Ray RiceBreakout Player Stats: 254 Rushes, 1,339 Rushing Yards, 78 Receptions, 702 Receiving Yards, 8 Total TDAnalysis: Boom-shaka-laka. It's not often that a player explodes out of obscurity (and third on the depth chart), but it happens, and Ray Rice turned into a mini-MJD this year. Great pick, if I do say so myself.Grade: A+

Breakout Team: Detroit Lions (predicted 6+ wins)Breakout Team Record: 2-14, 4th NFC NorthAnalysis: Ouch. The Lions let me down... Big time. The only reason this avoids getting an F is because the Lions won a game , which was a step up.Grade: D-

Bold Prediction: "Pat White will finish the year with 15-plus combined TD (Rush/Receive/Throw)."Result : Holy Mother of God he's flat-lining... I thought that Pat White would do more than Reggie-Bush-it-to-the-outside-for-a-short-loss... But did anyone else see him get BLOWN UP in Week 17?...Grade: F- (yeah, that's an F-MINUS!)

Seth Doria

Breakout Player: RB Michael Bush (Oakland)Breakout Player Stats: 123 Rushes, 589 Yards, 3 TDAnalysis: Epic fail. This cat is dynamite when he touches the ball (4.8 YPC), and he looked explosive when he got extensive touches (14 rushes for 119 yards in Week 10; 18 rushes for 133 yards in Week 15). He didn't break out, per se, but he could in the very near future.Grade: B

Bold Prediction: "Vince Young will make more starts than Kerry Collins."Result : I'm not sure how bold this was, since no performance prediction is attached, but it was definitely accurate. Had he predicted that Vince Young started and looked good, it would be an A+, but as is it's a solid B+.Grade: B+

Steven Smith

Breakout Player: WR Nate Washington (Tennessee)Breakout Player Stats: 47 Receptions, 569 Yards, 6 TDAnalysis: Washington had a solid season in 2009, but it was nothing that he hadn't done before. He set a career-high in receptions, but only by seven, and had finished with more yards in two of the previous three seasons. A good year, but not breakout compared to his prior performance.Grade: C+

Bold Prediction: "Louis Murphy leads all rookie WR in yards and touchdowns."Result : Murphy finished with a respectable 521 yards and 4 TD, but some other rookie wide receivers got in there and absolutely did some work. Austin Collie, Percy Harvin, Jeremy Maclin, Mike Wallace, and Michael Crabtree, to name a few.
